Dali – “Persistence of Memory”

Description

From the artwork of Salvador Dali “Persistence of Memory” It introduces a surrealistic (dreamlike) image of soft, melting pocket watches. The soft watches seem to be a rejection of the assumption that time is rigid or deterministic.

Salvador Dali painted this canvas in 1931 at the age of 27. It introduces a surrealistic (dreamlike) image of soft, melting pocket watches. The soft watches seem to be a rejection of the assumption that time is rigid or deterministic. The eye of the spectator is guided by the construction of the painting - disappearing points, the succession of watches and the marine horizon. The colours range from the cold colours of the beach to the warm and clear ones of the horizon.
